SPA Modeler

Through the rest of this together this morning, since the tail section came out so bad this is where I'm calling it.




Wish I could of done better on this. This was a kit I won in a raffle and it was open, the lozenge decals had some crud on them not sure what it was and had to clean them up before using so maybe that is why they turned out like they did.
Thanks for following along I promise to do better on the next build.

I really like the paintwork you put on her. And I think she looks quite nice indeed. What a great subject too. I dig it. And as to the decals- I’m no stranger to the issues that can come with decals. Decals infuriate me more often than not. I appreciate and respect that you saw her through to the end in spite of the decal issues. You did a lovely job.

Looks good to my eyes. I don’t see where the problems are with the lozenge decals. But I’m sure you, as any of us here, knows where all the flaws are in our own work.

Loving that - looks superb.

I've had the same issue with clears in the past and it's a right pain.

Looks great to me! I see no issues.

Thanks to all of you for the kind words. Look at the photo on the previous page of the tail section to see the decal that screwed up.

Why not send Eduard a photo of the issue and ask for a replacement decal piece? I know you wrote that you were calling it, but asking for a replacement may yield a model you will be able to display proudly. Otherwise I would find photos of field repairs to see if you can turn the area into an active display.

Bro, that’s a really good idea and I plan on keeping it in my back pocket until I have another decal-related, or he’ll even paint or construction related issue.

Hmm didn't really think about that, I think I will shoot them over a email and see what happens.
